Lawndale Overview
If you want to live in the South Bay area of Los Angeles in a safe suburb that's not touristy like the nearby beach towns of Hermosa or Manhattan Beach—Take a look at apartments in Lawndale. With a population of less than 40,000 and a median age of 30 something, Lawndale is a great place to raise a family in an affordable part of South Bay. Truthfully, it's a lot of fun to be single here, too. It's easy to get around on foot or by bus if you don't want to drive. And of course, you're close to all the best beaches in Southern California.
What is the history of Lawndale?
Lawndale and the neighboring communities of Inglewood and Manhattan, Redondo, Hamilton, and Hermosa beaches were all part of cattle grazing pastures, once upon a time in the early to mid-1800s. In 1868 Robert Burnett bought the entire area for less than $30,000. He was a sheep farmer, however. And after losing most of his herd to drought, Burnett began dry farming, orchards, and raising barley. He also got into real estate selling subdivisions. In 1890, a seaport opened in Redondo. Soon, the area began incorporating with a railway that ran throughout Los Angeles and what is now Lawndale. Charles B. Hooper officially founded Lawndale in 1905. The city finally incorporated on March 3rd, 1948.
How is the weather in Lawndale?
If you want warm sunny weather, then you'll love Lawndale. The driest months are late March to late November, with very little chance of rain. You'll have a greater than 10 percent chance of a shower or two from December through late February when the chance of rain climbs up to 21 percent. Expect average daily temperatures between 50°F and 67°F. — from November through April. Then it'll get steadily warmer, reaching temperatures between 66°F. and 76°F from July through October when it starts cooling off again.
How do I get around town?
Lawndale's local bus, the Beat, offers two bus routes. One is a residential route, and the other is the express route. Both bus routes travel down major streets, such as Hawthorn, Rosecrans, Prairie, Inglewood, Marine, and Manhattan Beach Blvd. Of course, you can also hop on Metro on Artesia Blvd. and head down to the beach, or toward the city of Los Angeles.
What is the Lawndale commute like?
Heading north to South is I-405. You can expect it to be busy, as it's a major thoroughfare. It also connects to I-5. Between these two major (jam-packed) highways, you can go anywhere in-state or out of state. There's also Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway) that runs from Glendale to Long Beach and the 105 freeway the passes over Registered Historical Landmark No. 6041, where, over 50 years ago, the Beach Boys, Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson created a sound in music that defined the Southern California dream. Still, the most scenic route close to Lawndale by far is Highway 101—Pacific Coast highway.
What are the local media outlets?
Read up on the local news in The Daily Breeze. There's also Herald publications, and everyone's favorite beach paper, The Easy Reader. Tune in to KTLA 5 to get all the latest news and live traffic updates. And if you want to listen to the radio, you have lots of options from public radio (KCRW) to Jazz (KKJZ), Top 40 (KAMP), Classic Rock (KLOS), Regional Mexican (KWIZ, Alternative (KYSR) music, and more.
